Celebrity Slogans we all use

By Kim Smith


Celebrities are everywhere in our culture and in fact we are so devoted to celebrities that we want to dress like them, workout like them and yes, even talk like them. Celebrities own little sayings have entered into the common vernacular. Some phrases of the rich and famous have even been entered into the dictionary because they have become so widespread and used by most of us. Here are a few of the most common sayings that were once coined by celebrities and have now become frequently used in everyday conversation:

"Fo Shizzle" - Snoop Doggy Dogg Not only a saying more a whole language. Easy although it's, changing the end of any term with 'izzle' is really a enjoyable and common practice because of the Dogfather, Snoop Dog. Fo shizzle it had been quizzle to sizzle (For certain it was quarter to 6).

"Yeah Boyee" - Flavor Flav This can be one more entry through the rap culture, this time Public Enemy's hoopla guy, Flavor Flav. As a portion of his act to get the audience having fun Flav would yell 'yeah boyee'. It really is employed now to signal pleasure, or possibly a win of some variety. To commemorate his 50th birthday Flav recorded the longest ever 'yeah boyee' such is his ongoing affiliation using term. I am going to let you learn for your self just just how long it turned out.

"Bootylicious" - Destiny's Child Ok so here's a fact. Snoop is responsible for this one too! However in 2001, nine years after Snoop's use of it, the women of DC changed its meaning from 'weak' to something along the lines of 'voluptuous toosh' when they used it as a title for one of their many hits. Beyonce, can you handle this... ooh, err.

"Taking Care of Business" - Elvis Presley It's not just the young kids appropriating phrases, this saying essentially grew to become Elvis's trademark and afterwards grew to become the brand for his enterprise interests. The brand image incorporates a lightning strike as well as the letters TCB. Should you take a visit all around Graceland you are going to see the brand in his family room and on the tail of his non-public jet. Enjoy it, uh-huh!

"I'll Be Back" - Arnold Schwarzenegger This may be an old one, but it is a good one. This was not some thing which was lost on Arnie as he worked the campaign trail to be governor of California, rehashing numerous of his sayings into his political rhetoric such as this 1. It is a classic, you cannot be mad at him...

"You're Fired" - Donald Trump Spawned for that reality TV show The Apprentice, this phrase has become repeated globally as the show has become franchised throughout the world. Trump even though being the originator of the expression that concludes contestants' participation attempted to copyright it, he failed.

"That's Hot" - Paris Hilton Enjoy her or dislike her, you can not deny the infiltration into modern day dialect from the expression 'that's hot' to indicate one thing is 'cool', is that a paradox? And she managed to get a little bit further than Trump as well, Paris in fact copyrighted the phrase! You'll be able to say several things about Paris Hilton but the woman undoubtedly has a brain for business and earning profits every single way possible. So the next time you use one of these phrases you'll now know exactly where it came from!
